1. Seiner Osprey docked at B street in San Diego built by San Diego Marine. I believe she was launched as the Theresa Ann. Please share your pictures with us at [email protected]

Tifaimoana one of the last of this design, built by Martinac in 1979 at the time 1400 tons made her one of the biggest seiners.

Ok it may not be the best picture , but its a great seiner. Finisterre caught some serious fish. Capt Scafidi did very well. Probably my favorite design of all the seiners. Really wish someone could send some of this seiner or others like them, Finisterre was built in 1972 by Martinac. Share your pictures with us please at [email protected]
